Zusammenfassung:17 Process for generating and expanding cells having LAK cell activity comprises (a) treating human PBMC to deplete monocytes, (b) culturing the resulting peripheral blood lymphocytes in medium containing IL-2 and human plasma or serum to generate LAK activity and (c) expanding the cells by culturing at low cell density in medium containing IL-2 and human plasma or serum in a culture bag made from an organic polymeric, oxygen permeable film. Monocytes are depleted by treating the PBMC with an ester of an L-amino acid such as phenylalanine methyl ester.
